[BOUNTY] Port MIUI camera to CM 12.1/13 rom

I dont know about you guys but I belive the MIUI camera is excellent, it has fast shutter speed and image processing. I have tried a lot of camera apps when I was on CM rom and none of them could match it.
Other members are welcome to donate (I will update the post) and to start of I will be putting $10 in the bounty for anyone who can port the MIUI camera to CM.

There are another options, as the OPO cam that has been ported to many devices, or the Cyanogen Camera, that it's which I have been using till now. That last is very good, it has many options to configure, including HDR and Slow-Mo video recording in HD. It's in another thread of xda.

I flashed the one from here (ver 5.8 ) and its working great, with very good picture quality (i would say its like stock miui camera, only some options dont work). What i find very cool is the "moving people" Option. It realy takes clear pictures, even if someone is moving fast (good when you have a little child, which never stands still ). With this Option i get shuttertimes faster than 1/300 sec.
I only miss the HDR PRO Option from miui camera.
Thanks @ekkilm for the tip and the link in your forum on your Website

Thanks, I was on 3.6 and thought I'll try 5.8 and I can confirm the shutter speed is definitely faster than 3.6 so I'm happy with that. Which rom you on now?
After a few tests, indoor at lowlight, miui takes clearer photos I.e. better focused.
I'll try this when I try cm at some point but I'm still hoping for a miui camera port.

I'm on TS Cm12.1, but I'm going to flash their CM13 now

Can somebody port Xperia Z4 camera?

I would also donate 20$ via Paypal for the port.
It's not about the handling/design of the MIUI camera app. It's more about the (probably closed-source) libraries to use all features of the Sony camera/lense and to get the best picture quality.

Try the oppo camera: it is the best. Dont forget install plugins. http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/themes-apps/port-coloros-camera-cm11s-t3030369

thanks for recommendation
for me it's far better than MIUI or lenovo super camera, as it doesn't use so aggressive noise reduction which is especially visible at higher ISO levels - for me, MIUI camera smears away way too much detail.
also, the shutter speed seems very good
_________
EDIT: a bug found!
after you run oppo camera, all camera apps use only warmer flash, the colder one stays off, some camera apps don't enable the flashlight at all (even if you force the flash) - like CameraMX. only the system torch works properly
can't tell what's the reason, but as soon as you uninstall the oppo camera app, both leds return to normal work

The Cyanogen Camera does seem to work very well. Thank you for pointing me there. Shutter sound can not be disabled, but that can be fixed.
How did you manage to get slow-motion working?
Will try Opo Cam as well.

Maybe you could point us in a direction where we can get the plugins? They have been taken down due to DMCA claim.

Opo cam is not that good. some plugins crash the app, overall it is not as good as Cyanogen Camera imo. Are there any other good alternatives?
And yes, would be nice if miui cam got ported.

Full Potential
I was looking through some files from the EU weekly ROM and found some interesting files. As you can see in the image there is files in system/vendor/lib such as imx258_HFR_120. HFR stands for high frame rate and 120 suggests 120fps recording while the stock camera app for me seems to record at about 49 fps at 720p. The specifications of the camera sensor found here: http://www.sony.net/Products/SC-HP/IS/sensor1/img/products/ProductBrief_IMX258_20151015.pdf say the sensor is capable of 1080p at 60fps. Can someone please try unlock the full potential of our camera?

Isn't it used for the slow motion? The full HD is indeed consistent at 29-30 fps and 4K videos are nearly half of it, not sure about 720p though.

That's what I mean, I only get 49fps at slow motion and other camera apps can't record at higher than 30fps.

i'm using cm and i miss a feature from my previous smiui.
in smiui i could take pics while pressing volume down.
i like to take a quick photo without wasting time.
i looked around and just found those spy stuff things but nothing like the miui feature.
would it be possible to port this with the original camera ?
i would also donate some money (10€ or more) for a port of these features.

Working GCam apks (normal/wide). Be proud of having the best camera ever.

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/...efcomg-fix_OP6v0.3_MGC_5.1.018_FINAL_3.4A.apk
For those who were unsuccessful in trying those GCam by cstark, at https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-cstark27/ , the above 2 links, you have to install both of seperately, It's worth using the stunning LG G7 camera! We should thank the developer for working for the OP6 being working on the LG G7. My settings in both cameras were.
1) Pixels auto HDR+ enabled.
2)Final JPG quality HDR+ 100%.
The issue I got was if changed to HDR+ Auto, it becomes unusable. So keep HDR+ On always. If you have better settings, share them below. .
Both wide and normal results in stunning images. Definitely better than Stock Camera. I hope the future updates will improve our beasts. Enjoy.

Portrait is broken in both I think.

I can't get slowmotion recording to work. Either app just closes.

what hdr + parameters do you use and what phone model from that list?nexus 5.nexus 6.nexus 5x etc? thanks

Is there a reason these are separate apps?

because too many of these GCams do not work with the LG G7, now I found a new apk with both modes working as included in single apk.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_v4.2t2.apk

Wow thanks! What are the recommended advanced settings?

In case you're like me and glanced over the OP, it will not work until you change HDR to always on instead of auto - as mentioned by the OP. I'm going to check it out. I've been disappointed with the low light photo quality on the stock camera. Hoping this helps!

Hi. Does gcam have the same shutter lag as original camera app?
If it does, so how to fix that? Any tips is appreciated.
Sorry if it is not right place to ask. I am just frustrated and do not find any solution for that.
Thanks!

IMO gcam sucks compared to stock... This is why I have uninstalled it.

I have oneplus 7t pro mclaren.
Will it work with oneplus 7t pro mclaren?

Just the Verizon 2.4.025 os working

any news?

Good morning, very very long time xda luker here, years in fact, so thought I would jump in and join this topic.
Obviously like most of us I've loved using the gcam port on my SM-A530F and now after the 9.0 update I had to go back to the stock samsung camera. So did a bit a of looking around and found this.
MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_TlnNeun_1.2_test_fix_Exynos.apk
It works. Well I say works, it's extremely buggy, so maybe someone here with a little more knowledge than me can have a play around with it and hopefully (fingers crossed) get it usable.
I'm getting hard restarts when you take a second photo while hdr is processing and in low light conditions it will sometimes crash.
From what I've seen, though I could be wrong and my settings need a tweak but you can't use flash, you can't use front facing camera, and you can't enable motion photo.
Also sometimes when processing hdr it will freeze and you will have to force close and start again.
I'm only after a decent hdr+ back camera, I don't realy care that the front isn't working as to be honest the stock a8 camera is fine for a selfie etc.
Thanks guys, I hope this has helped a little or it might not help at all, but I thought I would share this as it's a version of gcam that doesn't crash on startup and does take photo's we'll sometimes it takes photos. ??

My friend, i found a gcam that works. It can take photos, but after every shot you need to change to video and back. Its zoran gcam. The thing is, the zgcam its just for donators. Look for the telegram group [Galaxy] Official Google Camera and ask for Egoist. He will explain you how to get into the zoran group.

Rear portrait works. Playground needs AR core. To be honest I don't think playground is something I wanna test, seems like a silly thing to me. Motion don't works.

The version I mentioned above does the same, you have to go to settings then back to photo before you can take another shot and also wait for hdr processing to finish.

I'll post pics later for comparison, but the pics on the Gcam are much better. Colors and dynamic range are way better - low light is no competition.

Check out this post in the Q&A section: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/help/gcam-mod-7-pro-t3930459 That seems to be where most of the activity is for gcam.

Did some comparisons here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/camera-comparison-gcam-vs-stock-t3931423

All seem working well exept the front facing camera where resolution is 4mp and 12 in portrait, also in portrait mode some underexposure and lack of focus.
I pm Arnova with same info, hope will have a new version soon.

I found actually the Google Camera that was released for the OnePlus 6 works.
What I like about the Google Camera is the Augmented Reality, I would assume they work for the new OnePlus 7 Pro specific Google
Tried a newer APK, still does not run all the Playground content but otherwise is ok

Thanks guys. The mi9 gcam mod works flawlessly. I tried the R7pro mod, but it has a habit of freezing and capture delay at around 0.0017s

What file sizes are you folks seeing with the cam pics? Stock or GCam.

Then lower the frame capture rate... It's gcam.... And it will only be slower like that in low light... With the way I have it set you will get good quick captures outdoor and slower but better quality indoor or low light situations without needing to use night sight.

how do you get playground working..i don't see that option?

Got everything to work with your setup but is there a reason the back cam is set to 8.3 megapixels?

Pics come out too Cool
So, I've tried these different mods, and while sharpness is better with them, I feel like the colors come out way too cool and not true to real life at all. Complete opposite of what I get with my Pixel 3XL. Anyone experiencing the same, or perhaps has gotten a GCAM mod they are really happy with?

Here are some example I took on my OP7P. I used gcam and stock camera. I have to say that the stock camera is pretty sad.
I love the phone, but I am very disappointed in the camera.
The night photos were taken with Nightsight on GCam and Nightscene on stock.
GCam seems to come out much cool indoors, not staying as true to the colors sometimes. Stock is definitely not capturing the details.
